QUICK NOTE...Update: 9/7/19

First of all, my heart goes out to all those affected by the recent heinous weather outbreaks, most recently being Hurricane Dorian. We were right in the path of Hurricane Michael (like so many others), and we're still trying to get back in our home. Things are very slow to progress towards normalcy...and every day presents a new headache/nightmare to deal with. Hopefully by month's end, we'll be back in there to start the next leg of recovery. Thanks for stopping by and sharing my bookish adventures. It helps remind me I'm not alone in this crazy journey called life.

RRR BOOK BIRTHDAY BLITZ: The Secret to Falling in Love by Victoria Cooke

Hi there!

Welcome back to Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers.

Today, we're joining Rachel's Random Resources for a stop along their current tour featuring a Romantic Comedy available now via HQ Digital. It'll keep you in stitches, one way or another, while making you reconsider your addiction to all of our now-now-now technology. Don't believe me? Well then, let's take a closer look. Today's ebook of choice is...

Lifestyle journalist and thirty-something singleton Melissa hashtags, insta's and snapchats her supposedly fabulous life on every social media platform there is.

That is until she wakes up on her birthday, another year older and still alone, wondering if for all her internet dates, love really can be found online? The challenge: go technology free for a whole month!

Forced to confront the reality of her life without its perfect filters, Melissa knows she needs to make some changes. But when she bumps into not one, but two gorgeous men, without the use of an app, she believes there could be hope for love offline.

Who hasn't wanted to take their hands off the wheel of life sometimes and just let go? Have you ever actually DONE it or even contemplated just how you might do it? Yeah, me neither...but Melissa gets that very chance and thanks to her enabling yet interfering boss, she'll stick to the approved plan to the letter. What plan? Oh, that...no technology for a FULL MONTH, meaning her dateless connection lacking life has to be built up through old-fashioned means. Remember handwritten notes, and letters? Remember actually paying someone a visit as opposed to tagging them on social media? Those were the days...or so I'm told. Hey, I'm not THAT old. Cell phones may not have been everywhere in my youth, but they did exist!

If you're thinking, woe is me, think again. While it's true, not everything is sunshine and roses for her as she starts out, and the lack of ability to update others in an instant definitely adds its challenges, the end result of her social/work experiment may garner a different ending than you might at first think. Personally, I think I could do it, but leave the romance aspect out because yeah, I'm hopeless at that end of the spectrum...and I would miss my "online life", but then again, I had to do without it for almost a month thanks to that blasted storm...talk about withdrawal and a rude awakening...but I think it would be refreshing to actually connect with people face-to-face once again. So...would YOU be able to do it? Think hard...or just read this fun-filled adventure for a potential "what if" fulfilled.

Recommended for Contemporary Romance and Chick-Lit readers.
